Biography
Ludwig Emil Tomas Göransson (/ˈɡɔːrənsən/; Swedish: [ˈlɵ̌dːvɪɡ ˈjœ̂ːranˌsɔn]; born 1 September 1984) is a Swedish musician, composer, conductor, songwriter, and record producer. He is often regarded as one of the most successful composers in Hollywood of the 21st century. For his work in music, film and television, he has won numerous accolades, including three Academy Awards, two British Academy Film Awards, two Critics' Choice Awards, two Emmy Awards, two Golden Globe Awards and six Grammy Awards. As a record producer, he has frequently collaborated with Childish Gambino, producing his studio albums Camp, Because the Internet and "Awaken, My Love!", among others. Göransson's producing work on Gambino's 2018 single "This Is America" was met with acclaim and accolades, including two Grammy Awards (for Record of the Year and Song of the Year). He has also produced for other recording artists, including Adele, Alicia Keys, Rihanna, Chance the Rapper, Haim, Justin Timberlake, Kendrick Lamar, Travis Scott, and Moses Sumney. For television, he received his first break as a composer for the NBC comedy series Community (2009–2015), followed by the Fox comedy series New Girl (2011–2018). Göransson transitioned into dramatic work, scoring the Disney+ series The Mandalorian (2019–2020), for which he earned two Primetime Emmy Awards for Outstanding Music Composition for a Series (Original Dramatic Score). He also composed the main theme for The Book of Boba Fett (2021–2022). For his work in film, he has earned three Academy Awards for Best Original Score, for Ryan Coogler's superhero film Black Panther (2018), Christopher Nolan's biopic Oppenheimer (2023), and Coogler's horror film Sinners (2025). He was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Original Song for "Lift Me Up", performed by Rihanna, featured in Black Panther: Wakanda Forever (2022) and for "I Lied to You" from Sinners. Göransson's other collaborations with Coogler include Fruitvale Station (2013), Creed (2015) and Creed II (2018). He is also known for scoring Venom (2018), Tenet (2020), and Turning Red (2022).
